Idaho

Paced like a mustang and charged with strong human interest, this yarn will click with those who like Westerns high, wide, and handsome. It is the story of a fight for cattle land and water, for wire fence, and for the lives of man and beast.

After many years on the range, a cool fighter who calls himself Idaho rides back to the country where he was raised. Unrecognized by the friends and foes of his childhood, Idaho finds himself in the midst of a roaring scrap between two proud ranchmen and he finds his loyalty split on both sides of the feud. A quick shooter but a quicker thinker, a leader and fighter who never reckons his own safety, Idaho aims to restore justice and peace to the warring ranches. His resolve to win the respect of a father who abandoned him, his desire to protect his greatest benefactor, and his yearning to secure the love of his childhood friend Nancy, force him in the center of the conflict, even as he wrestles with his own inner turmoil.Even as Idaho struggles to determine where to stand in the conflict, he stands up against crookedness and foul play from all sides! His shrewd plans for recapturing fence wire and a stolen stream, his hair-trigger action to save lives in tough spots, his fairness and human sympathy—it is his courage and calm in hot situations that prove him a hero fit to make the cattle country proud. In the midst of battle blazing with six-guns, rifles, dynamite, fire, and the whole arsenal of hatred and violence, Idaho’s divided allegiance may be the only thing that can save the clashing ranchers from each other—and from themselves.
